[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
Hey Edward,

A couple things sir. First off, I wiped everything... EVERYTHING... last night, unlocked and flashed Odex2.0. Running on 198_7. Runs pretty good. It's just a LITTLE snappier than the stock experience to me..

When I first booted the ROM, I couldn't even click 3 things without the phone "soft-rebooting" back to the Bootanimation and reloading again. As I continually used it, this decreased over time and has finally stopped doing it 24 hours later (knocks on wood).

Something important I've noticed is the stock music app on the ROM only detects music from the internal SD, and obviously Motorola didn't give it the ability to choose what folders... but normally, it would detect my music on my sd-ext (and everywhere else) when using the stock setup.

I took pictures today using the stock camera app. When saving to InternalStorage, the phone puts where it normally goes on the InternalSD. But when I switched it to External, it took the picture and NEVER SHOWED UP! I've searched everywhere for those pictures but ended up taking the pictures again - this time saving them to ISD. lol

The gallery seems to be having issues. When I try to open a picture using the stock one (the only one compatible with the in-Camera shortcut), I will see a grainy version of the picture that never fills in - and a "Loading" caption across the picture. When viewing the same picture in other galleries (Like Quickpic, my gallery of choice), it shows up fine. Orientation seems to have no bearing on its performance.

Battery life is still pretty good, but I've always been able to squeeze great life out of the MoPho. I still think it may be a little better on this rom though than stock.

Sound quality is a quirk at this point. Yes, it sounds better with some songs (I only download or listen to 192kbps BARE EFFING MINIMUM, 320kbps preferred), but worse with others. When all equalizer settings are off, the song sounds nice. When using the stock equalizer settings, it sounds better than normal. When trying to use a 3rd party music app like PowerAmp (my fave), it doesn't seem to get along with the rom because it sounded perfect before.

Some minor things:

...Got rid of Sprint Proxies manually and sped up 3g browsing immensely

...Froze the following system coms to squeeze a little more performance out - just as I do in my stock setup:

AdService1.0

DataCollection1.0

DataCollectorService1.0

DatamanagerService1.0

DataCollectorProvider1.0

SuggestionsCoreRu...ckerServices2.3.4

SuggestionsPollSchedulerService2.3.4

Weather2.3.4

ZeamLauncher3.1.10

Other than what's listed above, it runs like butter OC'd at 1.3 and I think you've been doing a great job on it. Thank you for submitting your work for others to share here on XDA. I hope my feedback has been useful.

Readers, please remember I am not a troll and I am not complaining - but submitting my user experience for the developer. I don't give up on a ROM because of minor problems, I assist in the development of it by giving feedback - including my own modifications to help the dev better understand why something works or does not work better for me than others.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Hurry and get 2.1 while it is warm out the oven!!! Dont forget to show it off to your friends tomorrow and sorry just for unclocked users for now!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
What`s the difference between 2.0 ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I am afraid to flash anything else, my battery is so ridiculous good now. Unplugged at 5:30 am still had 47% at 11 pm with average use. Any other rom would need charged by then or before.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
@seesser. Any ideas as to why data is slow to activate when the phone is turned on? It can takes a few minutes before I have a data connection. Also as to why the market reverts to the old version each time the phone is power off/on?

Everything else seems fine. This is rom is fast. Great work Edward and seesser.

Also have a suggestion for a theme seesser. The dark fire theme that is in the theme section for the photon...looks cool as hell.

Edit: locked electrify running Rocko electrify 1.1
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
I can honestly say I have not had a single issue with this rom (redrocko 1.1.1). Extremely stable and fast as hell with unreal battery life.

If I were to put in a request to our dev it would be to please remove Beats audio, I think it sounds ****y, but I can live with it.

Actually like the stock Moto "equalizer" options
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Take a look at the change log animated status bar is the big one
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
In 6hrs 4% battery
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
You know guys sometimes its hard to answer everything question you need to say if your unlocked,locked?look at change logs and also its soooooo hard to keep everybody happy
[Motorola Photon 4G] MadFlava:
Im locked but rooted and I think I want to give this a whirl. Is there a walkthrough for unlocking and relocking? Im not a noob but Ive never owned a Motorola before so I guess I am a Motorola noob.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
As of now I think links are broken check q&a or watch qqking videos
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
http://www.shabbypenguin.info/

And watch qbkings videos
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
Since I'm at school I can't view the change log. Can I ask what is new on the Rocko 2.1 locked from 2.0?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Its for unlocked
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
I'm getting a "Link Expired" when trying to get the new unlocked deodexed Rocko 2.1
[Motorola Photon 4G] ZeroManArmy:
Ah. Well I guess I'm gonna wait for final release. Unless there are some minor bugs. Are there any major ones?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Sorry fixed
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
now says invalid ip address

edit: get that error message when trying to download on my phone less than hour later at home now and downloads fine idk whats up but about to try out the latest rocko
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
I downloaded, wiped 3x then flashed. It has now been setting on the Motorola Dual Core screen for over 7min now... Is there something I'm missing? The file size of the rom was the same as the file listing on the download site.

Update: So I have tried flashing this rom twice and it will not get past the Motorola Dual Core screen, I have left it running for a while and it just sits there...

Update 2: Could you please fix the Rocko 1.1.1 link, it is stating "Link Expired"
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Please post a reply if you have successfully flashed Rocko 2.1 over rocko 1.1.1

Also, did you wipe and if so, what exactly did you wipe before flash?

Any bugs to report?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
For those having trouble with the ODEX downloads... I've included torrents below. Please seed long enough to make your ratio at least 1.5!

In all honesty, if people weren't so stingy with uploading, I would suggest XDA to switch to torrenting as a more permanent method of sharing files. You know, actually using torrenting like it was MEANT to be used - i.e. not pirating movies :P

EDIT: Also including Rocko2.1

I only have 4Mbps up peeps, so be patient. If we get enough ppl to have this, you could download it at max bandwidth, so keep that in mind.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
is there a new verison for the unlocked guys??
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
2.1

10char...
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
so i tried to flash the newest unlocked rocko wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache, in mounts formated system, data, and cache then wiped dalvick cache then flashed the rom it installed just fine said installation complete so i selected reboot system...... phone will not boot up i get the red motorola symbol with unlocked at the top then screen goes black then red moto symbol with unlocked at top then goes into recovery........ ive tried repeating the steps and tried just flashing over but cannot get it to boot am currently restoring my stock unlocked nand hopefully it works dont know if anyone has had this issue but figure i would report it
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
Sorry skipped your post.

First thing you will need is your MSL. If you don't have it, you can go here to get it (pay attention to the 3rd post if you have problems).

Next, open your dialer and enter ##3282#.

Select Multimedia

Hit the menu button and enter Edit.

Enter your MSL.

In the "address" fields, enter 0.0.0.0

In the "port" fields, enter 0

In the Buffer Length, enter 10. (Some enter 20, but as long as it's 10 or higher...)

Hit back to save.

Enjoy wayyy faster 3G speeds that do not have to roll through Sprint's ****ty proxy network.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
It has jokers newer 1.3 highpro kernel try a different one
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Believe it or not I don't even have my msl lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
i would love to but all his links are broken at the moment hes working on some new links guess until then ill have to flip from cm7.2 and stock my nand restore took forever as to be expected but worked so am back up and running thinking of trying to flash rocko again i was on cm7.2 when i tried to flash it not sure if that makes a difference with all the wiping but is worth a try i think... gl to me ill report my results

was reading the changelog for the newest rocko says dont need to wipe is that coming from older rocko? would it be better to try and get the older rocko on here first then upgrade sort of speak to the newest?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Yup no need to wipe coming from older rocko version
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Are you guys not liking the animated status bar?

I was so happy last night when I got it to wrk
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
can't get it to boot tried from stock tried from cm7.2 tried different kernel the 1.0newoc the 1.3, and 1.4 I don't know going to try downloading the older version installing it then flashing newest rocko on top

receiving link expired on older rocko anyone have link
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Huh strange I just wiped everything and flashed it and worked fine 4 me
[Motorola Photon 4G] carrilloevo:
Hello, I been trying to flash the odex locked but no luck always stays on the motorola dual core, any suggestions please
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
going to try to redownload maybe bad download?!? IDK willing to try again really wanting to try this out so on that note be back in a few
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
please let me knw I get off my long day at work in 3 hrs ill reupload file
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
did you fallow the instructions in op?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
I flashed 2.1 no wipe. Working great.

Sent from a Rocko solid Mopho!
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigj225:
Not a big fan.... It seems to slow down the actual pulling down of the status bar. Maybe make it an flashable add on. Still great work on the rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] carrilloevo:
Yes three different times and nothing what is weird that I can flash the deodexed with those instructions on the op
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
what about the battery mod
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
from what ROM I've tried from cm7.2 and unlocked stock . am back didn't work for me again redownloaded and tried several ways to get it going no dice only thing I can say maybe I'm doing different than the video I'm not using twrp does that make a difference?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Twrp has some issues so it cant be that and the lastest download did you flash a different kernel
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
So, I think it worked. Wondering if you could give me a little more help. I got these weird "?" symbols inside of black diamonds between the 6 number MSL number in the translator. Regardless, the code got me to the multimedia menu...

You told me to enter "0" in the "Port" fields but the 2nd port field (HTTP-PD Address) would not save "0" as it kept reverting to 8085.

So Multimedia shows:

RTSP Address

0.0.0.0

RTSP Port

0

HTTP-PD Address

pd.vog.sprintpcs.com

HTTP-PD Port

8085

Buffer Length

10

Is this okay or does the "8085" mean something went wrong?

Thanks so much for your help, I appreciate it big time!
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
yes tried the 1.0newoc with new kernel it just sits the on the unlocked Motorola screen without the kernel it boots me into recovery every time I try to reboot from recovery and battery pull am at a loss in ideas any you have I'd be willing to try was going to try the older version then upgrade to the newest but link is down charging battery some then going to give another try before bed works early and have to have phone functioning will check back after I try again
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Ill fix 1.1.1 link after work
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
If you are coming from a different rom, you have to wipe everything. I was already on Rocko 1.1.1

Sent from a Rocko solid Mopho!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
The numbers in between those black diamonds is your MSL. It is a 6 digit number.

Did you make sure to clear out the pd.vog.sprintpcs.com first before putting in the 0 under its port? It may not let you change that til you get rid of the field first.

Go from top to bottom in order until it reads:

RTSP Address

0.0.0.0

RTSP Port

0

HTTP-PD Address

0.0.0.0

HTTP-PD Port

0

Buffer Length

10

By the way, I posted torrent links for 1.1.1 and a few others a while back so if the link is still down you could get it that way if you need.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Yup guys use his link thanks by the way
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Done!!! Thank you so much. Those settings saved just as you explained. I appreciate your time.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Just flashed Rocko 2.1 without a wipe over Rocko 1.1.1 and I don't have a notification bar at all??? All the settings on the launchers say the notification bar should be displayed but it is not. Any ideas???
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Did it FC?
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
No force close what so ever, just don't have a status bar and can't find a way to display it? I also don't see the battery mod app anywhere?

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

I had attempted to change the battery indicator icon using ROM Toolbox but none of the installs took. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
I came from a full wipe.... new SD card..I installed 2.1 and had no notification bar and when people called the phone rang but no answer or dialer screen came up

Back on ics right now
[Motorola Photon 4G] bigj225:
Really like everything else.... Nothing to complain about
[Motorola Photon 4G] WHYDavid:
Same problem here...full wipe of everything. No notification bar. Wiped everything again and reflashed, still no notification bar. Tried a dirty flash, same thing. Flashed another kernel, still nothing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
This morning I restored from 2 different backups of rocko 1.1.1 I had made and tried to flash rocko 2.1 over each and neither showed me a notification bar. I tried everything I could think of...

Is the battery mod an app? I did not see that either.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
It has a settings app but its built into the rom its seems like its working for some people and others its not
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Got any guesses what the difference may be or maybe some things we can try to make it work?
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Maybe some of the phones don't like the animated status bar because I been running it since yesterday with no problems ill try to update after work, today
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
Nope couldn't get it to work no matter how I tried never get past Motorola screen going to try and dl older version and try flashing new on top today when I get off work
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
Status bar force closes for me too
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Ill fix it later sorry guys ill try to add more goodies
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
No worries, we love your work! Thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mujju85:
can any1 tell me after installing this rom how an i enter into bootstrap recover mode plz its urgent :confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrfordwrench:
Re-install bootstrap recovery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
wrong thread!! sorry
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
I installed the locked version last night, I am very pleased with the rom in a whole at the moment.

I tried countless times to get the 1percent battery mod installed on 4gskinny locked but to no avail I was unable to get it working. I was very suprised to see that it is working in this rom.

The installation seemed a bit tricky as the first time I installed it didnt take. I think the error was that I tried going directly to the Odexd insstall. It wouldnt get past the motorola boot screen.

I then re-sbf'd back to 198-7 again, did the typical whipes from bootstrap and then installed the first rom bootstrapROCKO1.1.zip.

She booted up fine, I still did however need to apply the dhd.ko to stop the wifi error.

Once that was done I then booted back into bootstrap and then applied the ODEXbootstrapROCKO1.1.zip booted up fine this time.

So far I like it quite a bit, only issue I am having is that swype beta is force closing. I havent had this happen before with 4G skinny. Not sure where the problem in this lies I will have to look into this one.

Other than the swype FC, I havent seen any bizzare or weird behavior.

In closing, I like the 1percent battery mod, the whole theme is pretty nice.

The sleep mode seems interesting, pretty much just a shortcut to enable airplane mode.

The sound quality seems to be very good.

I like the icons you used, very intuitive with little to no learning curve as to what the icons are used for. (Not a big fan of icons that cause a learning curve)

All in all very nice.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pir8man:
I had the same update issues that I see other people posting about. I was coming from CM7. I wiped everything, installed Rocko 2.1 and got stuck at the Motorola Dual Core screen. Several repeat attempts got me no further...

I then flashed Rocko 2.0 successfully, then when back to Recovery and flashed Rocko 2.1 successfully. It appears the current 2.1 zip is and update and not a full rom. Im sure edward will fix this when he gets off work. (thx for the great support!)

I also want to note that I am missing the status bar with 2.1 as others have posted as well. I get a FC for com.android.systemui.

For now I'll roll with 2.0, until the status bar bug gets fixed up.

EDIT: im back on 2.0 now and SPB Shell 3D fails to launch. hope that gets fixed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] chrylaser:
Will you offer a locked version of 2.1? Loving your ROM!
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
trying to get the 2.0 dl at 1kb/s on Wifi think in going to be stopping the download would take me days at that speed if someone has a quicker link ill grab the files put them in my public dropbox if the government hasn't put a stop to that too
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
That sucks. Well it's not coming from me cuz I've have no data transferred from that torrent today at all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
am trying to dl it right now from atorrent app on Wifi been going for like 5-10 minutes still at 0% lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
I just refreshed my trackers and all of a sudden every file started uploading like crazy lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
so am trying from my computer now is working but says may have insufficient sources is that normal? or am i just wasting some more time trying to dl this...lol?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
I've never used ATorrent, but I could see that as a normal response to a torrent with a very low amount of seeds, so yes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
gave up trying from phone am on my computer at home seems to be going good 13 min remaining was just wondering i dont handle torrents very often wanted to make sure id get a complete dl file size is 189mb
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
It will go faster for others as more people download the file from us. It's a very interesting technology - torrenting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
okie dokie got it downloaded putting 2.0 unlocked and 2.1 unlocked in my public dropbox.... links posted below just dropped them in there so give about an hour before trying to download:

unlocked 2.0

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12000430/odexROCKO 2.0 - Unlocked.zip

unlocked 2.1

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12000430/ROCKO 2.1.zip

if these links need taking down just let me know and i will remove them hope this helps things a bit see you guys in a few going to try getting rocko on my phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrfordwrench:
Is 2.0 for locked?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
Negative. 2.0 and 2.1 ODEX are for Unlocked only.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
yeah unlocked only files in my dropbox link

sorry

so flashed rock 2.0 booted up just fine... so i flashed rocko 2.1 getting fc about status bar and i have no status bar or pull down.. other than that looks and runs good cant wait for the fix now that i now how to install it....lol gl folks
[Motorola Photon 4G] carrilloevo:
When you apply the odex version did you wipe anything?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Once I got the initial rock setup, replaced the file for wireless. I simply reboot and applied odexed upon top. No whiping was done to update to odexed version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] aamirani:
I am trying to flash the latest locked ODEX on my photon. I go through the instructions but get stuck. First time I would get force close over and over about all apps, SBFed and tried again and wouldn't pass the boot screen. SBFing again. it would be great if someone could help me get this working.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
What one are you installing locked? Or unlocked?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ArchangelRenzoku:
He already said locked.

I'll try that tomorrow.. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Sorry guys I couldn't update last night wife was on the computer doing homework but I need some ideas as for battery colors etc, something standard for rocko roms
[Motorola Photon 4G] El Shaddai's Wrath:
I think it would be sweet if you could theme all the status bar icons the same color. My votes would be for red, blue or android green. Anyway you could build in a variety of selectable colors and/or options? I like the circle battery icon with the 1% number inside...

Love your rom, it's my daily dirver. Keep up the good work.

General questions for anyone: Currently running Rocko 1.1.1 (2.1 gave me some problems) how much better is the odex 2.0 version? I don't understand what exactly it improves/changes? Can I just flash it over 1.1.1?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
Alright 2.1 unlocked i couldnt get to work..no notification bar and lots of call answering problems.

Did a full wipe ..back on unlocked 2.0... running great..no fc,s or random reboots

...i hate the swpe kb..thankfully i use titanium backup and had the multi touch kb in there

This rom is so smooth i made a nandroid of it and its my default for now

Keep up the good work
